Question

Mitosis results in

• A. reduction of chromosome number in daughter cells
• B. doubling of chromosome number in daughter cells
• C. daughter cells with same chromosome number as the parent cell
• D. increase in cell volume

Answer 1

The correct option is C daughter cells with same chromosome number as the parent cell

Mitosis is a type of cell divison that results in the formation of two daughter cells from a single parent cell. Mitosis is called as equational division because the chromosme number in parent cell and daughter cells produced is same. One cell gives rise to two daughter cells that are identical to one another and to the parent cell.
